The AYANEO Pocket Air runs Android, so official firmware arrives as over-the-air (OTA) system updates managed through AYANEO's own software (AYASpace / AYAHome / AYASetting). Pressing the AYA button opens AYASpace, where you check for the latest version, then download and install it over Wi-Fi while charged. AYANEO's published step-by-step OTA documentation is thin and mainly points to a tutorial, so exact menu labels can vary between AYASpace versions.

FAQ

Where do I check for an update?
Press the AYA button to open AYASpace (or open AYASetting from AYAHome) and look for the version/update section, then check for and install the latest system version.
Is rooting needed to update?
No. Official OTA updates install on the stock, unmodified system. You do not need to root or unlock the Pocket Air to receive firmware.
